Netanyahu Condemns Magal’s Remark About Eisenkot

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned broadcaster Yinon Magal’s remark about Gadi Eisenkot in a radio interview on Sunday, calling it inappropriate. Netanyahu said Magal should not have made the comment and stated, “I condemn it.” He also urged Eisenkot to denounce language aimed at Likud voters, citing derogatory animal comparisons that he attributed to Galia Albin and others. Asked about red lines in political debate, Netanyahu said they should apply to everyone, while arguing that Likud supporters regularly face condescension and insults.
